WARSAW (Reuters) - Recent changes to Poland's legal and institutional framework threaten human rights and undermine the rule of law, the Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights said on Wednesday, urging the Polish government to change course over reforms.
"Lawmakers and the government should urgently change course," Nils Muiznieks said in a statement accompanying a report which follows his regular visit to Poland in February. The commissioner said he was particularly concerned by the "prolonged paralysis" of the constitutional court.
